I'm sorry, but there is basically no objective evidence I can find against it. If you have some, please link it to me or something.

In its youth the flat-fish is symmetrical with one eye on each side. However, as the body matures, one eye “begins to glide slowly round the head.”

The first amendment does not say that. There is nothing in the first amendment, or even the whole Constitution that would make teaching this illegal. Actually, banning teaching macroevolution in school likely would violate the first amendment.

First of all, macroevolution is not an "atheist perspective", a large number of scientists, including the ones who helped develop and support the theory, are not atheists. Second of all, schools are supposed to only teach objective things, they can't teach things that are personal and subjective to many different people, that's not the point of school. Macroevolution is based on objective evidence, which is why it's appropriate to teach in a school.

These are both valid points.
I think the biggest issue, with both creationists and evolutionists, is the closed-mindedness to consider the other's perspective. It has often been ruled that schools shouldn't teach anything religious, because religion is deemed to be subjective and personal. I'll quote John Frame here, from A History of Western Philosophy and Theology: "When people oppose the teaching of 'religious' concepts, they are not presenting a criterion that can logically distinguish between true and false ideas. Rather, they are using the term religion as a club to arbitrarily exclude consideration of viewpoints that they don't happen to like." Such as creationism. And on the flipside, creationists sometimes shut off from hearing evolutionist claims and evidence, which is close-minded as well. To make an educated decision on what viewpoint to have, one should hear and try to understand the testimony from both sides before coming to a determined conclusion.

While macroevolution can be presented in schools, I don't think it should be lauded as irrevocable fact. Science is the way we try to understand the world around us, and we're constantly discovering new things and realizing the folly of old ideas. Scientists shouldn't immediately disregard what they find when it doesn't match up with what they want to find. From what I've seen and been taught, there's lots of evidence for the creationist perspective, and it shouldn't be ignored.

I have the unpopular opinion that derailing threads with far off base tangents are actually fun departures that sometimes provide lots of food for thought.

I think rhythm heaven is the best rhythm game ever made easily

Star fox zero is the best star fox game.

I would say assault is better but zero is still great.

Unpopular opinion: (idk if it is but ye)
(From an evolutionary standpoint) Humans are not destroying the "natural order" of things, as we are a force of nature, via evolution. (Once again, from an evolutionary standpoint, assuming religion is entirely out of the question)

7 + 7 is actually 15 because 14 starts with F and F is the hexadecimal number for 15.

And from a Christian standpoint, God gave us dominion over the earth, to oversee the natural order and grow civilization. (Not that we're always very good at it... but still.)

Rgb keyboards stink. They're almost always cheap, look hideous, and get covered in hair and crap really easily.

Of course I own one.

PSA to... basically everyone with a PC. Clean your keyboard, you should do it once a month at least.

Also I am really not sure how a keyboard having lights in it makes it get more dirty... I expect it to come down more to the mechanical design than anything else.

Yeah, my school (Which I think won state level for either smash or valorant in 2018) has an esports room (happens to be the engineering room as well, which I have 6th period) and they have peak rgb keyboards that feel and sound amazing, stay clean too.

It doesn't, but it makes it more obvious

The PC specs are more important than its outer looks. This should be transcluded to persons' clothing: As long as the measurements fit, every clothing is OK for all genders.

This is peak. It's not a commercial. It's art.
This is the best commercial ever made.

I don't like Celeste's soundtrack all that much.

I think Martian Madness was made badly, It's too missable if you don't know about

Other events often happen in pre hard mode or have items recipe being hardly missable, but this doesn't happen with MM

The new Minecraft movie actually looks kinda good. Especially after seeing that second trailer that dropped today. Many of the sets don't look great, but others look absolutely amazing, like Jack Black's "Stash". It clearly seems like they're trying to appeal to Minecraft fans and not just brainless babies. It also doesn't seem like they're gonna make a million "Woah, the trees float" jokes, like I was scared of.

I especially really can't wait for the movie to be memed TO DEATH. I mean, the first line in the trailer is "As a kid, I yearned for the mines"
